In the mood for some fun

The best way to expend all those pent up energy in kids is to bring them to a playground.

My sister and I brought the gals to Go-Go Bambini @ Demsey on one of the weekends. It has been quite a long while since we last visited this 'Giant playground". Chris was away on a business trip that weekend so going shopping with a stroller in tow without him was definitely out of the question for me.

Chloe and Anthea was so excited the moment we announced our grand plan to bring them to Go-Go Bambini.

When we got there, Chloe requested me to follow her closely. I had to wriggle my way around all the kiddy obstacles together with Chloe. However after half an hour, Chloe became more brave and ventured around without me. I just sat and watched her play from a far.

















Overrall it's a nice cosy place, sufficient to provide the fun that the kids need. Parents can also spend some relaxing time at the Cafe and Nail Spa within the premise.
I give this place two thumbs up! Do check it out!

I miss Chloe....

I miss Chloe so very much. In fact, I couldn’t stop thinking about her ever since we spoke briefly on the long-distance call yesterday night. Clare was in the midst of getting Chloe ready for bed when Chloe burst into tears and asked for me. Clare called me in Shanghai immediately so that Chloe could talk to me……. all I could hear was loud sobbing, and in between the sobs Chloe in her trembling voice managed to utter the words……’I miss you papa’…. Grown men are not supposed to cry, but those few words from my dearest darling instantly brought tears into my eyes. It has been 4 days since I last saw her and I couldn’t be there to hug and comfort her. I was heartbroken.

If someone were to ask me what my life’s greatest achievement is, it would be starting a family. Being able to experience parental love is a gift. My love for Chloe is protective and unconditional, and her love for me – likewise.

I know that someday when Chloe is a grown girl, her unconditional love for me may change. I can only cross my fingers and hope that this will not happen. At least for now, Chloe is always happy to see me and jumps into my arms whenever we meet – and that is such an incredible feeling.
